Crackers and Pretzels.

The cracker trade is a great industry
that has grown enormously IN this
country within few years. At thu
same time another trade. not so impor-
tant, perhaps, has increased at a greater
rate. This is the making and selling OF
prctzels. Up to 1880 the sale of pretzels
was not large. But it grew until 1888.
and then made wonderful strides. Let
us see, in that year, the consumption
increased 60 per cent. in 1884 it in-
creased f25 per cent. over the proceed.
ing year; in 1885. 320 per cent, and
this year it has already gone 700 per
cent. over 1882; now it is a commodity,
staple article of food, used by ali
classes. The reason is that improved
machinery has come into use. The old,
hard, unpalatable pretzel has been re-
placed by u clean, wholesome article.
1t is now made in various shapes and
sizes, and you will find it on all sides.
There are families here that buy them
as people buy crackers and use them
instead.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

A Magazine Writer Tells How President
Cleveland Lives.
President Cleveland rises at half-past
seven o'clock, dresses and shaves him
self, and is ready for breakfast at eight.
He breakfasts EN- famille, and finishes his
morning repast in less than thirty min
utes. His breakfast usually consists of
oatmeal, beefateak, coffee, hot cakes and
eggs. He is very fond of fruit, and eats
freely of it. lie leaves the breakfast ta-
bic and goes directly to his Office and be-
gins work without any exercise what
ever, writing letters and looking over
papers until ten o'clock, when the
callers begin to arrive. He then has II
siege of couple of hours with the states
men and oifice-seekers, which lasts
until 1:30 o'clock, when he is ready for
his luncheon. He eats this in less than
fifteen minutes, and, like his every day
breakfasts and dinners, it is eaten in the
private dining-room, and the whole
family sit down together President
Cleveland's lunch consists of bread and
butter, cold meats, little fruit and n
cup of tea.
After he has eaten it he goes directly
back to his Office and works steadily
until four. At this time he goes out to
drive in company with his private secre-
.tary, Colonel Lamont. He returns in
time for dinner, which is ready at seven
O'Clock. He does not dress for dinner in
the conventional style, except when ho
has guests, who will appear in evening
dress. His private dinners are plain.
Wine is served only when there are
guests present who are accustomed to
drinking wine with their meats. He
is not so fond of beer us has been report
ed by the newspapers, the total White
House consumption of this article dur
ing the past year being not more than
two dozen bottles. The Presidents
daily dinner consists of five or six
courses. First there is soup, then fish,
then Il roast, followed by game, dessert
fruit, and, after dinner, coffee. He
does not sit long at table and immedi-
ately on leaving it he goes up into the
corridor of the second story of the White
House and smokes a cigar, after which
he goes back to his work. President
Cleveland never smokes in his office,
and the only smoking he does is this
solitary post-prandial cigar. He goes
to bed about midnight, and falls asleep
as soon as his head touches the pillow
His system is such that six or seven
hours sleep is sufficient for him.--Lip-

Microbes in the Soil.

The value of the action of microbes i'm
the soil would not be questioned by any
one who had given the matter sufficient
thought. But to establish conclusion
by means of experiment always COM
mends itself to the scientific mind. NJ
Laurent has made series of compara-
tive experiments in order to ascertain
the influence of the microbes on vege-
table life. Seeds of buckwhcat were
sown in four different kinds of mould.
In the first fiOwer-pot natural mould was
employed; in the second the same earth
sterilized and then inoculated with
bactera Of the soil; in the third simply
sterilized mould; and in the fourth
sterilized mould with the addition of
chemical manure. Precautions were
taken to prevent contamination of the
four receptacles. The production of
wheat in each OF the pots respectively
was in the proportion of "a, 96, 23, 66.
In all the experiments the third series
was inferior to the Others. The value
of microbes in soil rich in organic de-
tritus seems thereby TO be proved -

four to ono, thrcc-quartcrs Of the local
magistrates appointed are Protestants.
The Lord-Lieutenant selects the poor
law guardians, and the sheriffs of the
counties; and the shcriffs, in their turn,
appoint the grand juries, which, in Ire
land, possess large powers OF local con-
troll.
The "stipendiary" magistrates, who
are paid for their services, and who hold
higher courts, are also selected by the
central power at Dublin Castle. The po-
lice, who have in charge the maintenance
of public order in Ireland, are under the
command of an Inspector-General at
Dublin, who is the appointee of the
Lord-Lieutenant; and the police, also,
are really under his control. The Irish
police are military force, armed with
rifles and swords, and drilled in military
fashion.
Thus it is seen that the local affairs,
the administration of justice, and the
preservation of order in Ireland, dre
virtually in the hands of the Lord-Licu-
tenant, who is not in the least RESPONSE

his great powers, but only to the British

man, who has recently opposed Mr..
Gladstone's scheme of home rule, yet

PRUDENT PUNISHMENT.

Some Reasons Why Parental Discipline
Should be Both just and Loving.
A child ought not to be punished by
its parents for an oflense which it COM
mitted without knowing that it was
thereby incurring the risk of punish
ment. Parental control and discipline
should be both just and loving. and
should he such rs will enable II child to
recognize the justice and the love which
directs the patcrnal action. If n child is
duly warned of the consequences of IL
certain course of conduct, or of par
ticular act, that child will recognize the
propriety of the parental action in.ad-
ministering the threatened punishment.
But if child does wrong without q
thought of risking condemnation the JUS
tice of an unlookcd-for punishment of the
Offense will be no more obvious to the
child than will be, in that connection,
the loving spirit, which is at the basis
of all right parental conduct. A re-
buke, or consure, may well follow II
thoughtless or an otherwise improper
act of child, who had not had timely
warming against such conduct; but
specific punishment from Il parent
ought to be reserved for oifenses whese
the risk of punishment was understand
ingly braved. Parents have q duty
to warn their children against wrong
doing, and to instruct them in well-do-
ing. A child's first offense in the limo
of previous instruction or warning calls
for formal announcement of the sure
consequences to the child of rcpeti-
ton of the offense. Then, if the wrong
be repeated, the punishment ought to
follow; and any child will see its justice,

IRISH GOVERNMENT.
The Chief Grievance of Those Irlshme
Who Desire Home Rule.

The Chief Grievance of Those Irlshmen
Who Desire Home Rule.
One OF the chief grievances of which
those Irishmen who desire home rule
complain is the way in which Ireland is
governed by English officials. All the
ocal affairs of Ireland, indeed, are un-
Ter the direct or indirect control of
what is called .'the Government of Dub
in Castle"
Dublin Castle has been for many cent
lries the residence of the chlet ex-
ecutive ruler of Ireland, who has al
ways been appointed by the British
Drown, and has been the representa-
1--WE of the British King or Queen in that
country. The Lord Lieutenant, OF Vice.
ySoy, of Ireland, as the ruler is
falled. has always enjoyed large,
hlmost despotic, powers. He is not re-
tponsible, in any way, to the Irish peo-
vple, over whose concerns he exercises
80 large an authority. He is respon-
Fible only to the British Cabinet, and,
Through it, to the British Parliament
+ every Irishman in the island opposed
bis policy, they could not call him to
Recount. So long as he was sustained
~ the British Government, he could do
IS he pleased. Usually the Lord-Lieu-
enant has been n great English Peer.
When he has been, as the present hold
er of the Office is, an Irish nobleman, he
has yet been devoted to British, rather
Than to Irish, interests.
4 Associated with the Lord-Lieutenant
sis the "Chief Secretary for Ireland"
twho is almost invariably an English
man, who sits as member of the Bi1t-
Ish House Of Commons. and who goes in
tnd out of Office with the British polite
party to which he belongs. The
.Ord-Lieutenant also holds his place
Pnly so long as his party is in power.
! These two chief officials, with their
Headquarters at Dublin Castle. preside
Pvcr large body Of minor officials, and
bver the general local concerns of Ire
land. The Lord-Lieutenant has
very wide range of appointing
,ower. Ireland's affairs are mainly
administered by number of boards,
she chief of which are the boards of
focal government, public works, ma
ional and intermediate education,
!unacy, fisheries, charities, prisons and
loan funds. The members of all these
boards are chosen by the Lord-Lieu-
enant, and work under his supervision.
rhey manage all the affairs relating to
he poor, public health. cattle diseases,
he prisons and the schools, and other
purposes of local governing bodies.
There are local elective boards in the
l'ish towns, but these are elected by a
estricted suffrage, and their acts may
|e reversed and rejected by the central
cards at Dublin.
The Lord-Lieutenant also appoints
no L0rd-Lieutenants of the Irish coun-
cs, and these, In their turn, select the
npaid magistrates who dispense justice
b the local courts. II is said that, al
bough Ireland is Catholic by more than
